Devil's Den Lyrics - Jefferson Starship

There is no color in the king and he is softer than the queen 

Confusion reigns, sometimes it reigns 

Now a colored sky never makes anybody cry 

But a gray cloud always makes it rain, sometimes it rains 

He only has the moves of a knight 

But he wants the absolute freedom of a queen 

Too bad, the only money he's got is coming in 

Colored American green 

You know it's worthless paper, you can spend or save 

Go ahead and count that by yourself 

But look out somebody's looking 

You're supposed to do that by yourself, count it 

He says he's not doing anything wrong he thinks 

He's just another part of the royal story 

But does it always have to start that way? 

Always ending someday with no man's warning 

Don't talk back, some ruler says 

Or everything you need will go away 

Every answer you think you've ever said is just a guess 

And the king of clocks just slowly locks up every day 

Clock strikes damn near perfect at night 

But it moves so slow in the morning light 

King says, "A crown doesn't make the man" 

But we all know, yes, we all know, he thinks he's born to glory 

Until he dies by the divine right of kings 

No one down here wants to give that man any golden wings 

And man must fly, man must fly, is that gray man 'sane 

No color, no name
